Even for Portugal. I love grey and have multiple shades of it. Same with the white. My mother tried - without effect - to keep me pristine as a child. I find being pristine to be a major character flaw.

The great thing about Europe is, if you don't bring something, you can always buy it (or some semblance of it) when you get here.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-73667064986733913682018-04-30T07:19:51.955-05:002018-04-30T07:19:51.955-05:00I am with you in packing for a trip.

To take or not to take, too much, too little, seat room, overhead room, etc., etc. etc. I am sure everything will go well on your trip and if there are any blips, they will make for some good stories.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-18310550414824988802018-04-29T14:20:53.027-05:002018-04-29T14:20:53.027-05:00Those tops are great!

My best plants are volunteers that have come up in a bed that doesn't get nearly enough sun. <br />You get ready for your trips the exact same way I get ready for mine. Fretting and dithering and this-ing and that-ing. It is a way to deal with the anxiety. <br />That lamp is spectacular! Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.com
